What is the Story Of Your Life ?
“The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life”. A quote by Gregory David Roberts. What is the story of our life? What is our choice when we have a problem, is it hating or forgiving?
But before going into it, I just wanted to tell you a small story , The story of a bank robber. The story of Gregory David Robert itself. We know him as an Australian author, composer and songwriter. But after his breakup with his wife and losing his daughter he became a heroin addict. He started doing many crimes. He was sentenced to 19 years in prison. But he escaped from the prison and spent eight years in Bombay. In Bombay he established a free medical clinic for slum dwellers. He only robbed institutions with insurance and he always made sure to say “please” and “thank you” to people he robbed. In spite of the fact that Roberts was a robber, he took money from people who were secure and gave it to the needy. That is how he entered into the hearts of many.
I know that this story of Roberts and his quote doesn't have much connection. In my opinion, the real story of our life is not about hating and forgiving, but rather about how a person enters into the lives of others. In our absence, people will tell different stories about us. In the end, it is up to us what story they tell about us. If we have a mind to help and forgive the people who are in need, the whole world will join to tell the story of our life.
I don’t say we have to be famous like Mother Teresa by helping and caring for others generously. But there is something more we can do in our circle itself. Learn to forgive people, learn to care for others and learn to make a beautiful smile on others' faces. That tells a beautiful story of our life. So keep moving, don't forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful day.
